Running Windows 10.I would like to be able to partition a GPT drive, image the OS partition (no dual booting), store images on another partition or external drive, and restore an image to the OS partition. This would have to be done from a flash drive or CD/DVD because I want to keep the hard drive a GPT type. This would take the place of a Recovery USB (although I would still have one). How do I do this?

I am thinking that BIBM could do the partitioning, although Windows might be able to. BIBM could do the imaging too, but could IFW be used?

You might be able to partition the drive from the OS, Windows?
I know I could do that from Win 7, no problem.

I prefer to keep my images on a drive separate from the OS.
Maybe both as well?
